Time tracking, explained
What is screenshot monitoring?
Screenshot monitoring software (also called employee screenshot monitoring or automatic screenshot capture) automatically takes screenshots of employee screens during tracked work sessions. It provides visual proof of work, timelines of activity, and productivity insights—helping managers verify work progress, reduce disputes, and manage remote and hybrid teams.
It differs from live app tracking by adding visual evidence alongside text-based app and window data. It works for office, hybrid, and remote teams.
